Giobbe 30:5

5 Erano scacciati d’infra la gente; Ei si gridava dietro a loro, come dietro ad un ladro.

Giobbe 30:5 Meaning and Commentary

Job 30:5

They were driven from among [men]
From towns and cities, and all civil society, as unfit to be among them; not for any good, it may be observed, but for crimes that they had done, like our felons, and transported persons:

they cried after them as [after] a thief;
as they were driven and run along, the people called after them, saying, there goes a thief; which they said by way of abhorrence of them, and for the shame of them, and that all might be warned and cautioned against them; and, generally speaking, such as are idle and slothful, and thereby become miserable, are pilferers and thieves.

Giobbe 30:5 In-Context

3 Di bisogno e di fame, Vivevano in disparte, e solitari; Fuggivano in luoghi aridi, tenebrosi, desolati, e deserti.

4 Coglievano la malva presso agli arboscelli, E le radici de’ ginepri, per iscaldarsi.

5 Erano scacciati d’infra la gente; Ei si gridava dietro a loro, come dietro ad un ladro.

6 Dimoravano ne’ dirupi delle valli, Nelle grotte della terra e delle rocce.

7 Ruggivano fra gli arboscelli; Si adunavano sotto a’ cardi.
